This place used to have such a diverse and delicious menu. Now it’s the 3rd Halal hot chicken spot in half a mile on Venice. Disappointed to see the change

Great customer service!

Chicken and waffles, loaded macaroni, and other items in our order were all good. It was properly seasoned and cooked. We went with the medium hot option. They very much served as delicious, fantastic cuisine. No doubt. The items were ready in less than 15 minutes. You can expect good service because it is cooked to order. Keep it up!

There’s no denying the fried chicken craze is everywhere lately, with new spots popping up left and right. But let me tell you, nothing compares to Al’s. Their chicken stands out for its size, juiciness, and perfect crispiness. The signature seasoning? Absolutely unmatched. Unlike other places that drown their flavorless chicken in sauce, Al’s Hot Chicken doesn’t need to rely on that trick.
I’m thrilled to see more locations opening up, and you can bet I’ll be stopping by the next time I’m in the area. I love that they offer more than just hot chicken sandwiches and tenders, with a great variety of sauces to choose from too.
While there weren’t many employees at this particular location, the one at the front counter was extremely friendly and helpful. It was my first time there, so I asked for a couple of recommendations, and they did not disappoint. I went with combo number three, which came with tenders and fries. The chicken was incredibly juicy, with or without sauce, and you could really taste the care they put into it. They definitely know what they’re doing in the kitchen.
I also tried the macaroni and cheese, and it was incredibly creamy with the pasta cooked perfectly to al dente. It was a nice complement to the meal and added to the overall experience.
I do wish the menu had more kid-friendly items or options for vegetarians, but overall, I had a fantastic experience and will definitely be back. The restaurant was clean and well-organized. While there isn’t a ton of seating, and it can get crowded, as long as you go at a decent time, you should be fine.
Vegetarian options: For vegetarians, the menu mainly offers sides like French fries, macaroni and cheese, and coleslaw. So, I wouldn’t recommend it if you're looking for a full, balanced meal. However, if you're just tagging along with friends and want a light snack, it might work. But overall, this isn’t the best spot for a vegetarian-friendly meal due to the limited options.
Kid-friendliness: As long as there’s no spicy sauce on the chicken or on the side, it’s perfect for your kids to enjoy. It’s honestly one of the best spots to grab a meal with your little ones, whether it’s lunch or dinner. After all, who doesn’t love chicken?

I used to go here for years but the quality has been getting worse lately, they don't put seasoning on the fries like they used too, they forget to put pickles, and they seem to be allergic to pick up the phone. This place used to be better than Dave's but I don't think that's the case anymore.

I like their food, but their service is worst. I have been a customer for years. I am aware of their customer services is getting worse and worse. The last time, I bought half chicken which were like the old taste, not fresh taste.

3 times I've ordered chicken strips and 3 times I've gotten slider sandwiches. I hate cole slaw & pickles and want just plain chicken strips.It's impossible to get an order right for this place. 3 times it's gone in the trash!This place is absurd!

Al's Hot Chicken chicken chicken wrap with french fries was absolutely delicious. Very tasty. Juicy fresh clean meal and I was only able to eat half and save the other half for lunch the next day. I'm talking about it and I'm ready to go get one right now. Laugh out loud. I give Al's Hot Chicken A GRADE OF(. I'll be back many times. ) Amazing taste!
